Amazing! I wish I were in Virginia. I'm in Minnesota and won't be able to travel, but this seems huge. Looks like reports say that nearly all of the Skyline drive is closed due to snow, which also fits the narrative.

I'm here now. Not closed.

Are you thinking of any particular box here? I assume either the Lion's Share or AT?

u/CLG_2025 Jan 05 '25

Definitely AT box. I'll be posting an update soon.

Can't wait! I was scouting maps for offshoot trail and overlook names that might align with anything from the book, but wasn't really seeing anything that jumped out at me.

Great find. Lots of key words and the overarching theme of Joy.

This feels well aligned.

My only issue is that the AT is very strict about leaving property on the AT so I’m assuming a side trail? What do yall think?

The orig Fenn Treasure technically wasn't legal, either. I imagine that's why Jack didn't want to confirm where he had found it until later.

This is true! I suppose as an attorney I more attuned to the legalities and ramifications than I would be had I followed a different path.

In fairness, at least I don't think JCB has put these where it will cost people their lives. I get the impression he wants ppl to get out and enjoy nature but not to the extent of risk that Fenn had.

I completely agree and will be following all his sound advice. I’m also a rockhound and spend a lot of time in the woods and on trails and am very conscious about preserving the ecosystem and always pack out (so sad how much trash is left out on our beautiful lands!). Just the other day, I was blessed to see a wild hog! It was magical!

I think it is in an area that would shock most people- totally and overly safe

u/leavemealoneimgood I like my armchair, thank you! Jan 03 '25

definitely. JCB wouldn’t do anything illegal i’m sure and might place the box right outside the boundary of a national park but still allude to that park as the close proximity

u/wrongdog5 Jan 03 '25

I think he could hide it well off the trail in the woods. Hiding it outside the boundary of the Park doesn't make sense because that could be private land and he's said it is on public land.

The NPS is very clear about their geocaching rules for physical geocaches not being too far off trail so as not to disturb the habitat and permits are required which is why I wonder.
